Resolution Authorizing Offering Other Qualified Adult Benefits to Managerial/Confidential Employees – This item was pulled from tonight’s agenda.

Limited Public Comment Mr. Bloss, Health Department, stated he is one of the four employees who receive same sex health benefits from the County. His family is his partner and they have lived in Lansing for 15 years. Once they received the health benefits, Mr. Bloss stated he didn’t feel like a second class citizen. He thanked the Committee for its fair values and equity. Mr. Bloss further stated he realizes the County is facing a legal situation regarding this issue. He expressed his hope that the current benefits can be continued until a replacement plan is found. Ms. Gardner, Lansing Association of Human Rights, stated she is proud that the County has taken the initiative in the past to provide domestic partner health insurance. The insurance should be offered in the name of fairness and equality. Ms. Gardner asked the County to continue its efforts to find a way to continue offering the health benefits. Comm. Schor asked how the County should weigh the necessity of offering these benefits against the decision of the Court of Appeals and potential legal action. Ms. Gardner stated she hopes the County has the courage to fight for this benefit. Comm. Schor stated courage includes fighting for tax payers dollars. Ms. Stratton, Michigan Nurses Association, stated she is interested in cost containment. She is also interested in finding a fair solution to this problem. It would be good to find an innovative way to cover the employees with domestic partners. MOVED BY COMM. CELENTINO, SUPPORTED BY COMM. SCHOR, TO APPROVE A CONSENT AGENDA FOR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:

Resolution to Terminate Domestic Partner Coverage MOVED BY COMM. WEATHERWAX-GRANT, SUPPORTED BY COMM. SCHOR, TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO TERMINATE DOMESTIC PARTNER COVERAGE. Chairperson Grebner stated the County Services Committee changed the February 28, 2008 date in the Resolution to March 31, 2008. The Resolution failed in that Committee with a three to three vote. Comm. Weatherwax-Grant asked how the County Services Committee arrived at the February 28 date. Mr. Myers explained it was an arbitrary date. Comm. Weatherwax-Grant stated her concern that 90 days may not be sufficient to resolve this matter. Chairperson Grebner asked if the County could adopt an agreement with the unions to hold the effected employees harmless. Mr. Stoker stated this is a legal as well as a union decision to extend the bargaining time for the expected changes. The unions will be invited to meet with staff to discuss this matter. Mr. Stoker further stated the unionized employees cannot change the coverage until the unions meet with staff.

2

Chairperson Grebner stated the County will end the benefits and adopt new benefits. Comm. Celentino asked if the County could be legally protected if it has a deadline. Mr. Stoker stated the cut off date would be helpful. It would demonstrate the County is easing into a change. Mr. Myers stated he is confident that the change can be completed in a couple of months. The termination date could be April 30, 2008. Chairperson Grebner stated if the process stalls, the County could take action to continue the health benefits until a date certain. Comm. Schor stated he intended to change the March 31 date to April 30, 2008, or until such time as a replacement is in place. He then stated he does not intend to go beyond the April 30 date. Comm. Hertel asked why the Committee is discussing another date if another program may be available in a few weeks. Mr. Myers explained the County Attorney wants a date in order to protect the County against legal action. Comm. Hertel stated the employees currently receiving the benefit should continue to do so until a replacement program is in place. He then stated the Board of Commissioners is not happy about the legal situation. The County does not want to take health benefits away from its employees. Board Chairperson Thomas stated at least 13 members of the Board of Commissioners strongly support the idea behind the benefit. He then asked Mr. Stoker if the County would be on stronger footing with the harmless language or by ending the policy now. Mr. Stoker stated the County would be more solid with a date certain. The sooner the better. Comm. Weatherwax-Grant offered to change the date to July 31, 2008. As an employer, we have an obligation to provide a reasonable amount of time to find a new product and for the employees to understand the new product. MOVED BY COMM. WEATHERWAX-GRANT, SUPPORTED BY COMM. SCHOR, TO AMEND THE DATE IN THE THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED PARAGRAPH BY CHANGING IT FROM FEBRUARY 28, 2008 TO JULY 31, 2008. MOTION CARRIED with Comm. Grebner voting NO. Absent: Comm. Dougan MOVED BY COMM. SCHOR, SUPPORTED BY COMM. CELENTINO, TO ADD A WHEREAS PARAGRAPH TO THE END OF THE RESOLUTION AS FOLLOWS:

WHEREAS, IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TO REINSTATE THE SAME SEX DOMESTIC PARTNER BENEFITS IF THE MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT DETERMINES SUCH BENEFITS TO BE LAWFUL.

This motion was accepted as a Friendly Amendment. Comm. Hertel stated he strongly understands why the Committee is taking the above actions. He then stated he would like the Committee to wait until the next County Services meeting to see if a new program is approved by them. If not, this Committee can move forward on this matter. The Committee discussed this matter further. Mr. Myers stated a new product could be proposed to the County Services Committee at its February 19 meeting. He also stated the County Services Committee asked that this issue be discussed by the Health Coalition.

3

Comm. Hertel stated his concern that the County is offering the employees false hope by stating it’s trying to replace the current benefits. Mr. Myers stated Mr. Smith has talked with our insurance carriers about this issue and they are on board. A replacement program should contain the same benefits. We are not offering false hope. Comm. Celentino stated staff could provide different options to the employees. He further stated the County wants a positive replacement and staff should have adequate time find such a replacement. Comm. Schor supported Comm. Celentino’s statements. The County will be offering false hope by not providing a date certain. Board Chairperson Thomas stated there are a clear majority and a clear ideology on the Board of Commissioners that this benefit continues. We intend to provide a similar benefit. Board Chairperson Thomas stated he has faith in the staff. As much as he disagrees with the law, the County is bound by same. Comm. Hertel stated he can support the Resolution with the July 31, 2008 date. The Committee consented to the following FRIENDLY AMENDMENT:

WHEREAS, IT IS THE INTENT OF THE INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TO OBTAIN AND PROVIDE A COMPARABLE BENEFIT TO REPLACE THE BENEFITS BEING LOST.

Comm. Hertel asked Mr. Bloss if there is any other language the Committee would add that would make him more comfortable. Mr. Bloss indicated he is fine with the language. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Absent: Comm. Dougan 4 c. Resolution Authorizing a Contract for Services Between Ingham County and the Charter Township of Meridian to Maintain the Watershed Management Plan for Lake Lansing

Including the Lake Frontage Owned by Ingham County4

MOVED BY COMM. SCHOR, SUPPORTED BY COMM. CELENTINO, TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT FOR SERVICES BETWEEN INGHAM COUNTY AND THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF MERIDIAN TO MAINTAIN THE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR LAKE LANSING INCLUDING THE LAKE FRONTAGE OWNED BY INGHAM COUNTY. Ms. Morton stated the Resolution should be changed to reflect the following: The THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED paragraph was changed to indicate the $4,800 is to be taken from the 2008 Contingency Fund. The third bullet under the first BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED paragraph was changed as follows: The Parks & Recreation Commission will consider annually whether to appropriate up to $10,000 to the Special Assessment District (SAD, and as part of that consideration will meet with appropriate Township and Lake Lansing Property Owners Association (LLPOA) representatives.

Chairperson Grebner stated the Lake property associations have always claimed the County should pay more for the Lake. He stated the County has an obligation because we allow the public to use the Lake. The County does not have an obligation to appropriate any money to the assessment district. Chairperson Grebner stated he has never supported contributing more to the Lake than if the County was an actual property owner. Chairperson Grebner stated the Lake was almost a nuisance to the property owners. The County used General Fund dollars and tax dollars to improve the Lake. The adjacent property owners have benefited tremendously from the County’s actions in dredging the Lake. The County does not still owe money for the Lake. Mr. Myers stated the County Services Committee forwarded the original request from Meridian Township to the Parks Board for review and recommendation. They came back with the $10,000 recommendation. Chairperson Grebner stated the principal has been to date that the County will pay what a homeowner pays per foot. Mr. Myers explained the third tier of lake property homeowners are now being included in the assessment. Comm. Hertel stated the County does benefit from the Lake. The Parks Board has reviewed this matter and recommended the County increase its appropriation to $10,000. Comm. Hertel stated the Township is also increasing its appropriation to $10,000. Mr. Myers stated the Township’s assessment is being increased but we don’t know how much Mr. Moore stated it is his understanding that the Township is not going to include the third tier. He will verify this matter. Comm. Schor asked if the Committee can hold this Resolution until we determine what the County should actually pay. Chairperson Grebner stated he would like to know the appropriate amount. Comm. Weatherwax-Grant agreed the amount should be determined. The Committee continued their discussion of this matter. MOVED BY COMM. CELENTINO, SUPPORTED BY COMM. SCHOR, TO TABLE THIS RESOLUTION UNTIL ITS NEXT MEETING. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Absent: Comm. Dougan 7. Board Referrals

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE In order to promote the revitalization of environmentally distressed, blighted, and functionally obsolete properties within the boundaries of Ingham County (the “County”), the County has established the Ingham County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (the “Authority”) pursuant to Michigan Public Act 381 of 1996, as amended (“Act 381”). The primary purpose of this Brownfield Plan (“Plan”) as well as any amendments is to promote the redevelopment of and private investment in certain “Brownfield” properties within the County. The major emphasis of the plan is neighborhood and corridor revitalization. Inclusion of property within this Plan will facilitate financing of environmental response and other Eligible Activities at Eligible Properties, and will also provide tax incentives to eligible taxpayers willing to invest in revitalization of eligible sites, commonly referred to as “brown fields”. By facilitating redevelopment of Brownfield properties, the Plan is intended to promote economic growth for the benefit of the residents of the County and all taxing units located within and benefited by the Authority. The identification or designation of a developer or proposed use for the Eligible Property that is the subject of this Plan shall not be integral to the effectiveness or validity of this Plan. This Plan is intended to apply to the Eligible Property identified in this Plan and, if tax increment revenues (“TIR”) are proposed to be captured from the Eligible Property, to identify and authorize the Eligible Activities to be funded by such tax increment revenues. Any change in the proposed developer or proposed use of the Eligible Property shall not necessitate an amendment to the Plan, affect the application of this Plan to the Eligible Property, or impair the rights available to the Authority under this Plan. This Plan is intended to be a living document, which may be modified or amended as necessary to achieve the purposes of Act 381. The applicable sections of Act 381 are noted throughout the Plan for reference purposes. This Brownfield Plan contains information required by Section 13(1) of Act 381.

Agenda Item 1a THE INGHAM COUNTY LAND BANK FAST TRACK AUTHORITY BROWNFIELD PROJECT PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Ingham County Land Bank Fast Track Authority project will involve redevelopment of numerous parcels of property throughout Ingham County. One or more of the existing properties will be transformed through one or more of the following: building demolition and/or renovation, site preparation activities, infrastructure improvements, lead-based paint and asbestos abatement, environmental investigation and remediation, and eligible Land Bank Fast Track Authority expenses. ELIGIBLE PROPERTY In January of 2004, the State of Michigan approved revisions to Public Act 381 of 1996, expanding the definition of “Eligible Property” to include: all parcels owned or under the control of a Land Bank Fast Track Authority. The Eligible Property of this Brownfield project consists of all real and personal property parcels owned or under the control of the Ingham County Land Bank Fast Track Authority (“LBA”), including those parcels that are adjacent to or contiguous with the LBA parcels. Parcel Identification Numbers (ID#) are provided in Appendix A. Appendix B includes a Regional Location Map of the properties, as they currently exist. The properties are located in the communities of the City of Lansing; City of East Lansing, City of Mason, Charter Township of Lansing, Charter Township of Delhi; Meridian Charter Township, Aurelius Township; Locke Township, Vevay Township, and Wheatfield Township. One of the properties included in the plan is a known site of contamination. The property located at 300 W. North, a former Action Auto property, has had serious gasoline losses and is an Open Leaking Underground Storage Tank Site on the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) list. The DEQ has taken some cleanup actions to date, but has been unable to complete cleanup at the property due to a lack of funds, and the property remains contaminated above applicable standards (a “facility”). This plan will assist in completing Baseline Environmental Assessment and Due Care activities. All parcels identified in Appendix A or which are subsequently included in the description of Eligible Property under this Plan shall remain Eligible Property without regard to whether the LBA subsequently sells or otherwise divests itself of one or more parcels. BROWNFIELD PLAN ELEMENTS

A. Description of Costs to Be Paid for With Tax Increment Revenues and Summary of Eligible Activities. Redevelopment of Land Bank Parcels will generate new property tax revenue and provide for the reimbursement of Eligible Activities under this Plan. The Authority desires that each party incurring Eligible Activities on the Eligible Property enter into a Reimbursement Agreement with the Authority (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), setting forth the terms and conditions under which the party may be reimbursed for Eligible Activities with TIR. No Eligible Activities costs will be qualified for reimbursement except in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement. Subject to the Reimbursement Agreement, it is anticipated that the Eligible Activities will be implemented in a phased approach including the Eligible Activities described below and listed in Appendix C/Tables 1 & 2.

DEMOLITION ACTIVITIES (See Appendix C – Table 1 for Estimated Costs) Remove Structures: The LBA anticipates demolishing structures, in whole or in part, located on various parcels of eligible property included in the Plan. The structures to be demolished will be primarily residential.

Rehabilitate Structures: The LBA also anticipates rehabilitating a number of residential structures. This will entail interior demolition or “gutting” the structure.

LEAD AND ASBESTOS ABATEMENT – (See Appendix C – Table 1 for Estimated Costs)

Inspection: Those structures that contain lead-based paint and asbestos will require appropriate steps to evaluate the extent of the hazard. This includes both buildings that will be demolished in their entirety and buildings that will be “gutted” as part of rehabilitation.

Abatement: Structures that contain lead-based paint and asbestos will require appropriate steps to address the removal or encapsulation of the lead-based paint and asbestos impacted material. Operation and Maintenance Plans or Due Care plans will be completed as needed.

SITE PREPARATION – (See Appendix C – Table 1 for Estimated Costs)

On many properties it may be necessary to prepare the site for future utilization through relocation of utilities, clearing, grading, and land balancing.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPOVEMENT ACTIVITIES - (See Appendix C – Table 1 for Estimated Costs)

The LBA anticipates that infrastructure improvements that directly benefit various parcels of eligible property included in this Plan may be necessary from time to time in order to achieve the purposes of this Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES (See Appendix C – Table 1 for Estimated Costs)

Phase I Environmental Site Assessments:

Phase I ESAs will be performed as needed based on the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) "Standard Practice For Environmental Site Assessments," E-1527, which outlines good commercial and customary practice for conducting an ESA and establishing "due-diligence" and according to the EPA All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) standard.

Phase II Environmental Site Assessments and Baseline Environmental Assessments:

The Phase II Site Investigation will evaluate the recognized environmental conditions identified on the property. The Phase II investigation will be based on ASTM Designation E 1903. The laboratory analytical data is then compared to appropriate MDEQ “Cleanup Criteria” to evaluate what steps are necessary for the safe reuse of the property. The Phase II scope of work will be designed based on the future use of the property to meet the goal of safe property reuse.

If contamination is identified at a subject property during a Phase II ESA, a Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) can be prepared on behalf of the prospective owners/operators to allow for liability protection for the cleanup of environmental contamination associated with existing contamination under Part 201 of Michigan’s Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA), P.A. 451 of 1994, as amended.

Due Care Activities:

Should contamination be identified on the property, a Section 7a Compliance Analysis (commonly referred to as a Due Care Plan) can be prepared on behalf of the prospective owners/operators. The Due Care Plan outlines response activities that allow for the redevelopment and use of the subject property in a manner that will protect public health, safety or welfare, the environment or natural resources. Due care activities including additional investigations, contaminated soil removal and disposal, capping of contaminated areas, etc., will be performed as identified in the due care plan.

SITE WORK PLANS (See Appendix C – Table 1 for Estimated Costs)

Act 381 Work Plans:

MDEQ Eligible Activities: In order for school operating taxes to be captured, the appropriate state department must approve an Act 381 Work Plan that addresses the proposed activities involved in a Brownfield project. It is the intention of this Brownfield Plan to capture school operating TIR for all

eligible environmental activities. Therefore, appropriate work plans will be submitted to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for their review and approval.

One or more Act 381 Work Plans will be prepared to determine and implement all necessary procedures that will allow for Eligible Activities on the sites based on applicable State and Federal criteria. This will include the environmental investigation and remediation of those parcels that exceed the least restrictive applicable land-use based criterion.

MEGA Eligible Activities: Additional Eligible Activities, such as asbestos/lead-based paint abatement, demolition costs, infrastructure improvements, and site preparation, can be recovered through the capture of TIR attributable to school operating millages under an Amendment to P.A. 381 of 1996, approved by the State of Michigan in January of 2004. The Amendment expands the definition of “Eligible Property” and “Blighted” to include: all parcels owned or under the control of a Land Bank Fast Track Authority. Therefore, all of the parcels included in this Plan as Eligible Property may be treated, for the purpose of reimbursement of costs to conduct of Eligible Activities, as if they were located in a Qualified Local Unit of Government.

The appropriate work plan(s) and amendments to any existing work plans will be submitted to the Michigan Economic Growth Authority (MEGA) for their review and approval as well.

The work plans will include an estimate of the costs of implementing all above-mentioned activities, including project management.

State Work Plan Review: The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation may charge a fee for the review of Work Plans. This review is detailed and evaluates the eligibility of the proposed activities, the financial impact of the proposed development on the community, and the utilization of captured “school” tax revenues to address the costs of these activities. The cost of such review by MDEQ and MEDC has not been projected.

TITLE CLEARANCE

The Authority anticipates that certain parcels that have been tax reverted to Ingham County will require Title Clearance. (See Appendix C Table 1 for Estimated Costs.)

INTEREST The interest and other bond expenses incurred on bonds of the Authority shall be reimbursed from all sources of tax increment revenue captured under this Plan. See Appendix D for an estimate of these expenses.

BROWNFIELD AUTHORITY ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS Reasonable and actual administrative and operating expenses of the Authority will be reimbursed to the extent permitted by Section 13(16) of Act 381, as amended, or otherwise. (Set at $35,000/year, but not to exceed $75,000.00 annually).

TOTAL ESTIMATED EXPENSES All activities are intended to be “Eligible Activities” under Act 381, as amended. The total cost of Eligible Activities (including the payment of principal and interest on bonds of the Authority used to finance the cost of Eligible Activities) subject to payment or reimbursement from all tax increment revenues generated by any single parcel of Eligible Property or any combination of parcels of Eligible Property listed in Appendix A will not exceed the combined amounts listed in Appendix C Table 1 plus the interest and other bond expenses listed in Appendix D without an amendment of this Plan.

B. Estimate of Captured Taxable Value and Tax Increment Revenues.

See attached (Appendix C/Table 2). It is the intention of the Authority to capture and collect from any single parcel of Eligible Property or any combination of parcels of Eligible Property listed in Appendix A only so much TIR as required to pay all obligations of the Authority incurred and approved pursuant to this Plan.

C. Method of Financing Costs of the Plan and Description of Advances by the

Municipality.

No advances have been or shall be made by the County or the Authority for the costs of Eligible Activities under this Plan. This Plan shall be financed, in part, by the issuance of bonds or notes of the Authority as authorized by Act 381.

D. Maximum Amount of Note or Bonded Indebtedness.

The Authority will incur bonded indebtedness with an estimated par amount of $2,065,000 for this project during 2007. The bond is estimated to fund $1,755,000 in eligible activities under the Plan.

Detailed information related to bonds of the Authority is attached in Appendix D.

The project will require demolition of existing buildings, site preparation, due care, environmental response activities and public infrastructure improvements. The project will create both temporary construction jobs and new permanent jobs. It will reuse a contaminated site and will provide a significant increase to the Township’s tax base. Basis of Eligibility The Property is contaminated with 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene in the soil and lead in the groundwater exceeding the generic residential cleanup criteria of Part 201 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (“NREPA”). Therefore, the Property is “eligible property” as defined by the Act because it has been determined to be a “facility” as defined in Part 201 of the NREPA as a result of the described contamination. Required Elements of Brownfield Plan

1. A description of costs intended to be paid for with the tax increment revenues. (MCLA 125.2663(1)(a))

Developers will seek tax increment financing from local taxes (all taxes other than school operating and state education taxes) for eligible activities at the Property including Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA), due care activities, additional response activities and Michigan Public Act 381 work plan preparation totaling $7,262,378, which includes interest at the annual rate of 7% percent.

Table 1 below presents estimated costs of the eligible activities for this project which qualify for reimbursement from tax increment financing.

The Ingham County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority local site remediation revolving fund will be used to support and assist in the assessment and remediation of Brownfield sites in the areas of Ingham County served by the Ingham County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority. The fund is used for “eligible activities” as defined in the Act including baseline environmental assessments, due care activities, and additional response activities allowed under the Act. On properties owned or under the control of the Ingham County Land Bank Fast Track Authority this may include site preparation, demolition, infrastructure improvements, or lead and asbestos abatement also as allowed under the Act. 14. Other material that the Authority or the Township Board considers pertinent. (MCLA 125.2663(1)(n))

The project involves the redevelopment of a contaminated parcel. The reuse will provide approximately 122,000 square feet of retail/commercial space and will provide approximately 100 residential condominium units and associated parking. The project

will significantly increase the Township’s tax base, will provide additional retail/commercial space as well as housing, and will provide new jobs both during construction and at the conclusion of the project.

Michigan Business Tax Credit It is the intention of the Michigan Legislature to encourage redevelopment of brownfields using the 10% Michigan Business Tax credit incentive permitted under MI Public Act 36, Public Acts of 2007, as amended. The Michigan Business Tax credit can be applied against any “eligible investment” at the Property. The Michigan Business Tax credit will be applied against any eligible investment or part thereof made by a qualified taxpayer after approval of this Brownfield Redevelopment Plan by the County and receipt of a preapproval letter from the State of Michigan. “Eligible investment” means demolition, construction, restoration, alteration, renovation, or improvement of buildings on eligible property and the addition of machinery, equipment, and fixtures to the Property after the date of the pre-approval letter. Developers may apply for a Michigan business tax (“MBT”) credit at the eligible property pursuant to Act 36 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 2007.

Agenda Item 2a RESOLUTION STAFF REVIEW DATE January 25, 2008 Agenda Item Title: Resolution to Authorize Service Contracts with Licensed Dentists

for 2008 Submitted by: Health Department Committees: LE , JD , HS X , CS , Finance X Summary of Proposed Action: (See the attached letter of explanation.) This resolution will authorize service contracts with dentists for calendar year 2008. For the Health Department to maintain quality dental care for its pediatric and adult dental populations and to maintain revenue projections resulting from dental services it is necessary to recruit and retain contractual dentists. In addition to the contractual arrangements for dental services, the Health Department employs two full-time dentists at its Adult Dental and one full-time dentist at its Healthy Smiles health centers. Financial Implications: The attached resolution will authorize contracts with licensed dentists at the rate of $49.52 per hour. This represents an increase of 3% from the current rate of $48.08. The Health Department’s 2008 adopted budget includes $154,502 to support approximately 60 hours per week of contractual dental services. Other Implications: None. Staff Recommendation: MM JN TL TM JC X Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

MEMORANDUM To: Human Services Committee

Finance Committee From: Dean G. Sienko, M.D., Health Officer Date: January 31, 2008 Subject: Recommendation to Authorize 2008 Contracts with Dentists This is a recommendation to authorize service contracts with dentists for calendar year 2008. The Department’s 2008 adopted budget includes $154,502 to support approximately 60 hours per week of contractual dentists. Additionally, the Department employs two full-time dentists at its Adult Dental and one full-time dentist at its Healthy Smiles health centers. For the Department to maintain high quality dental care for its pediatric and adult dental populations and to maintain revenue projections resulting from dental services it is critical to recruit and retain contractual dentists. In order to competitively secure contractual dentists it is important that the Health Department increase the hourly rate from $48.08 to $49.52 reflecting an increase of 3%. The 2008 budget anticipates 60 hours per week of contractual dentist time at the rate of $49.52 per hour. The attached resolution will authorize contracts with licensed dentists at the rate of $49.52 per hour. The Department will manage contractual hours to stay within the total budgeted amount for contractual dentists. The County Attorney will prepare contracts that require the dentist to maintain professional liability insurance consistent with County policies. I recommend that the Board authorize the contracts.

Agenda Item 2a Introduced by the Human Services and Finance Committees of the:


RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE SERVICE CONTRACTS WITH LICENSED DENTISTS FOR 2008

WHEREAS, Ingham County operates two dental health centers and uses a mix of employed and contracted dentists to provide services; and WHEREAS, the Health Department’s 2008 budget includes $154,502 to pay for contractual dentists, assuming an average of 60 hours of contractual dental services per week between the two health centers; and WHEREAS, the Health Officer has recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize contracts with dentists at the rate of $49.52 per hour. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes service contracts with licensed dentists during calendar year 2008. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the dentists shall be paid at the rate of $49.52 per hour, with total expenditures not to exceed $154,502 during Fiscal Year 2008. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Attorney is authorized to prepare service contracts for licensed dentists recommended by the Health Department and that the County Board Chairperson is authorized to sign such contracts.

Agenda Item 2b RESOLUTION STAFF REVIEW DATE January 25, 2008 Agenda Item Title: Resolution to Authorize a Second Year Grant from the Federal

Department of Health and Human Services for the Compassion Capital Demonstration Program

Submitted by: Health Department Committees: LE , JD , HS X , CS , Finance X Summary of Proposed Action: (See the attached letter of explanation.) This resolution will give the Health Department the authority to subcontract with community organizations, providers of training and technical assistance, and consulting services to assist with the administration and evaluation of the initiative to assist with their capacity-building so that they can more effectively serve the homeless, prisoners reentering our community, and at-risk youth. This capacity-building initiative will be carried out through three yearly plans. Subcontracting authority of this kind was granted to the Health Department in 1998 (Resolution #98-191) to assist with multi-year management of the Community Voices Initiative, a grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. There are many similarities between this capacity-building initiative and Community Voices in terms of size, complexity, and community involvement. The County Purchasing Department will assist with all competitive awards and all subcontracts will continue to be reviewed and approved by the County Attorney. Financial Implications: During the first year of this three-year grant, the Health Department anticipate entering into contracts with eighteen (18) faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs) for the purpose of assisting with their capacity-building. The total cost of contracts with the eighteen FBCOs is not expected to exceed $330,000. After extensive outreach and information sharing about this capacity-building opportunity, faith-based and community organizations will be selected based on their response to a Request for Applications (RFA) issued by the County Purchasing Department. The applications will be reviewed by an external group of community leaders and their recommendation will be forwarded to the Investors Steering Committee who will in turn recommend selection of the FBCOs to the Health Officer. Similarly, the process for selecting a contractual Project Coordinator is underway through the County Purchasing Department. To maximize learning through participatory evaluation between round one and round two of this capacity-building initiative, the Health Department intends to extend/amend the contract with Public Sector Consultants (PSC) for $68,000. Other Implications:

Resolution #07-263 was adopted by the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizing the acceptance of a second Compassion Capital Fund Demonstration Program grant of up to $1.5 million for the period of September 30, 2007 through September 29, 2010 and authorizing budget amendments for federal funds and matching funds from community partners. Resolution #07-263 is attached. Staff Recommendation: MM JN TL TM JC X Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

MEMORANDUM

To: Human Services Committee Finance Committee From: Dean Sienko, M.D., Health Officer Date: January 24, 2008 Subject: Compassion Capital Demonstration Grant In collaboration with the Power of We Consortium’s Investor Steering Committee and Leadership and Practice Committee, the Health Department will assist many of our faith-and community based organizations over the next three years with their capacity-building so that they can more effectively serve the homeless, prisoners reentering our community, and at-risk youth. This capacity-building initiative will be carried out through three yearly plans. In the course of carrying out these plans in conjunction with the Power of We Consortium, many contracts will be required—most of which are yet to be determined. Due to the complexity and size of this initiative, the Health Department requests the authority to subcontract with community organizations, providers of training and technical assistance, and consulting services to assist with the administration and evaluation of the initiative. Subcontracting authority of this kind was granted to the Health Department in 1998 (Resolution #98-191) to assist with multi-year management of the Community Voices Initiative, a grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. There are many similarities between this capacity-building initiative and Community Voices in terms of size, complexity, and community involvement. The subcontracting model worked well for Community Voices and should work equally well for this initiative. While subcontracting authority will save valuable time for the Board of Commissioners, County Purchasing will assist with all competitive awards and all subcontracts will continue to be reviewed and approved by the County Attorney. During the first year of this three-year grant, we anticipate entering into contracts with eighteen (18) faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs) for the purpose of assisting with their capacity-building. The total cost of contracts with the eighteen FBCOs is not expected to exceed $330,000. After extensive outreach and information sharing about this capacity-building opportunity, faith-based and community organizations will be selected based on their response to a Request for Applications (RFA) issued by County Purchasing. The applications will be reviewed by an external group of community leaders and their recommendation will be forwarded to the Investors Steering Committee who will in turn recommend selection of the FBCOs to the Health Officer. Similarly the process for selecting a contractual Project Coordinator is underway through County Purchasing. The Compassion Capital Fund project seeks to build the capacity of area faith-based and community organizations, and in doing so, lift them into positions of community leadership. Peer mentors providing training and technical assistance will consist of past recipients of capacity-building assistance who have benefited from the initiative and have demonstrated an

ability to transfer their knowledge and skill. Examples include Christian Services/LOVE INC (for $34,200) and Allen Neighborhood Center (for $11,200) who have benefited and participated in the capacity-building initiative for several years, as well as a number of organizations that have recently benefited from the initiative, such as Faith United Methodist Church (for $11,200) and Hospice of Lansing (for $4,000). Many of the trainers also do training for the Michigan Non-Profit Association. During the first round, the initiative provided training to close to 100 area faith-based and community organizations and we anticipate providing this assistance to a similar number in round two. To maximize learning through participatory evaluation between round one and round two of this capacity-building initiative, we intend to extend/amend our contract with Public Sector Consultants (PSC) for $68,000. PSC is concurrently preparing final evaluation reports for round one of the grant for the Health Department and the Power of We Consortium’s Leadership and Practice Committee and creating reporting protocols for round two. Ingham County faith-based and community organizations have expressed appreciation for the unique opportunity to receive capacity building assistance such as has not been previously available, and area residents will no doubt reap the benefits of organizations with improved capacity to serve our most vulnerable populations.

CAPITAL DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM

WHEREAS, the Power of We Consortium works through member organizations, often using the Ingham County Health Department as its fiduciary agent; and WHEREAS, the Power of We Consortium is nearing the completion of the first grant from the Federal Department of Health and Human Services to enhance Ingham County’s efforts to improve the capacity of community and faith-based organizations to be effective in their missions; and WHEREAS, the Power of We Consortium successfully competed for a second round of grants from the Federal Department of Health and Human Services to assist community and faith-based organizations serving the homeless, prisoners reentering our community, and at-risk youth with their capacity-building; and WHEREAS, on October 23, 2007, Resolution #07-263 was adopted by the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizing the acceptance of a second Compassion Capital Fund Demonstration Program grant of up to $1.5 million for the period of September 30, 2007 through September 29, 2010, and authorizing budget amendments for federal funds and matching funds from community partners; and WHEREAS, further authority is needed to implement this capacity building initiative, specifically contracts with faith-based and community organizations, providers of training and technical assistance, and consulting and evaluation services; and WHEREAS, the Power of We Consortium’s Investors Steering Committee and Leadership and Practice Committees are actively engaged with the Health Officer in the development and oversight of the initiative. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that subcontracts are authorized with approximately eighteen (18) faith and community-based organizations annually to implement specific portions of the Compassion Capital Fund grant and that professional service contracts are authorized with consulting firms and individuals, using standard Ingham County procedures which shall include review by the County Attorney and the signature of the Ingham County Board Chairperson, with such subcontracts and professional service contracts made in amounts not to exceed available funding included in the Compassion Capital Fund proposal and budget.

Agenda Item 3 RESOLUTION STAFF REVIEW DATE January 25, 2007 Agenda Item Title: Resolution to Establish Two Part-Time, Temporary Recycling

Workers in Partnership with the Mason High School Community-Based Instruction and MSU Extension 4-H Youth Development Programs

Submitted by: Ingham County MSU Extension Committees: LE , JD , HS X , CS X , Finance X Summary of Proposed Action: (See the attached letter of explanation.) This resolution will authorize the hiring of part-time, temporary recycling workers in cooperation with the Mason High School Community-Based Instruction (CBI) program. The resolution continues an existing partnership between the MSU Extension 4-H Program and Mason High School, providing high school students who receive special education and related services a place for learning about the importance of independent living skills and employability skills. Based on input from parents, job coaches and the students, MSU Extension staff would like to make this program a more realistic employment experience for the students by creating two part-time, temporary positions. Students would be required to create a portfolio, complete a resume and application, provide references, and participate in an interview. The management of these processes would be provided by 4-H staff, thus not placing an additional burden on the County’s Human Resources staff. Financial Implications: The students would be paid minimum wage for one hour per week, during the school year only. During 2008, MSU Extension proposes to pay for this program using funds already budgeted for temporary employees in their departmental budget at a total cost of approximately $510. Other Implications: MSU Extension has reviewed this proposal with personnel in the Human Resources and Facilities Departments and could not identify any barriers to the implementation of this program. Staff Recommendation: MM JN TL TM JC X Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

MEMO Date: January 18, 2008 To: Ingham County Board of Commissioners From: Randy A. Bell, Ingham County MSU Extension Director Re: Resolution authorizing the hiring of part-time temporary Community-Based Instruction

(CBI) workers For many years, MSU Extension 4-H Program and the Mason High School have been partners in providing high school students who receive special education and related services a place for learning about the importance of independent living skills and employability skills. Once a week, two students, accompanied by their job coach, collect recycled paper from several offices in the Hilliard Building and deliver it to bins for pickup. Occasionally, additional tasks such as envelope stuffing and attaching mailing labels are performed, based on the skill level of the student. This program has provided a community environment for the development of work experience, social interaction, transportation and daily living skills for students with various cognitive, mental, emotional and/or physical challenges. Based on input from parents, job coaches and the students, our staff would like to make this program a more realistic employment experience for the students by creating part-time, temporary positions. Students would be required to create a portfolio, complete a resume and application, provide references, and participate in an interview. The management of these processes would be provided by 4-H staff, thus not placing an additional burden on the County’s Human Resources staff. The students would be paid minimum wage for one hour per week, during the school year only. During 2008, we propose to pay for this program using funds already budgeted for temporary employees in our departmental budget using the following estimates: 1 hour at $7.40 per week for 32 weeks = $236.80 times two students = $473.60 + FICA and Worker’s Comp = $510.40. I have reviewed this proposal with personnel in Human Resources and Facilities and we could not identify any barriers to the implementation of this program. Therefore, I request that you approve the resolution authorizing the hiring of part-time, temporary recycling workers in cooperation with the Mason High School CBI program.

Agenda Item 3 Introduced by the Human Services, County Services and Finance Committees of the:


RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH TWO PART-TIME, TEMPORARY RECYCLING WORKERS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MASON HIGH SCHOOL COMMUNITY-

BASED INSTRUCTION AND MSU EXTENSION 4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

WHEREAS, the Ingham County MSU Extension 4-H Youth Development program has been a long-standing partner with the Community-based Instruction (CBI) program of the Mason High School; and WHEREAS, the CBI program has provided a community environment for the development of work experience, social interaction, transportation and daily living skills for students with various cognitive, mental, emotional and/or physical challenges; and WHEREAS, parents, job coaches, students and 4-H staff have requested to make this program a more realistic employment experience for the students by creating part-time, temporary positions; and WHEREAS, the proposed work duties would be to continue the collection of recycled paper from several offices in the Hilliard Building and delivering it to bins for pickup and occasionally, perform additional tasks such as envelope stuffing and attaching mailing labels for the MSU Extension Office, based on the skill level of the student; and WHEREAS, work would be performed once a week, during the school year only, by two students, accompanied by a job coach provided by the Mason Schools; and WHEREAS, funds from a current budget item for temporary employees in the MSU Extension budget would cover the employment costs for the 2008 budget year. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners approves the creation of two part-time, temporary recycling workers at a cost not to exceed $510.40 from existing temporary employment funds budgeted for MSU Extension Office.

Agenda Item 4 RESOLUTION STAFF REVIEW DATE January 29, 2008 Agenda Item Title: Resolution Authorizing an Appropriation from the 2008

Contingency Fund for Expanding Access to Health Care Submitted by: Commissioner Andy Schor Committees: LE , JD , HS X , CS , Finance X Summary of Proposed Action: This resolution will authorize an appropriation from the 2008 Contingency Fund for the purpose of keeping Ingham County on pace to achieve universal access to health care in 2010. 2008 represents the third year in a five-year strategy to achieve universal access to health care in Ingham County, and the appropriation requested by the Health Department was not fully funded during the 2008 budget process. Financial Implications: This would be a Contingency Fund appropriation of $158,159. The Health Department’s original request to fund access to health care expansion in 2008 was $308,159. The amount currently included in the 2008 budget for this purpose is $150,000. There is currently $563,258 remaining in the 2008 Contingency Fund. If this resolution is approved, there would be $405,099 left for the remainder of the 2008 fiscal year. Other Implications: Per resolution #07-105, an area of priority emphasis for 2008 is: Include a financing plan to enable the Ingham Health Plan Corporation, utilizing the Ingham Health Plan and the Ingham County Advantage Program, to provide access to health care for 100% of uninsured county residents no later than 2010 Staff Recommendation: MM JN TL TM JC X This has been an important area of priority for the Board of Commissioners. However, future discussion related to the five-year strategy to provide universal access to health care in Ingham County through the Ingham Health Plan should come as a part of the regular budget process.

THE INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN APPROPRIATION FROM THE 2008 CONTINGENCY

FUND FOR EXPANDING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE WHEREAS, expanding access to health care for the uninsured and under-insured is a priority of the Ingham County Board of Commissioners; and WHEREAS, the Ingham Health Plan currently offers a health benefit to approximately 16,000 low-income, uninsured persons, about half of whom receive their primary care through the Health Department’s network of community health centers; and WHEREAS, Ingham Health Plan enrollment is projected to increase to 19,000 by the end of 2008; and WHEREAS, 2008 represents the third year in a five-year strategy to achieve universal access to health care in Ingham County, and the appropriation requested by the Health Department was not fully funded during the 2008 budget process; and WHEREAS, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners wishes to appropriate up to $158,159 from the 2008 Contingency Fund to keep Ingham County on pace to achieve universal access to health care in 2010. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes an appropriation of $158,159 from the 2008 Contingency Fund to the Health Department budget for the purpose of expanding access to health care for the uninsured and under-insured in Ingham County through the Ingham Health Plan.

Agenda Item 5 RESOLUTION STAFF REVIEW DATE January 7, 2008 Agenda Item Title: Resolution Authorizing a Contract for Services Between Ingham County and the Charter Township of Meridian to Maintain the Watershed Management Plan for Lake Lansing Including the Lake Frontage Owned by Ingham County Submitted by: Ingham County Parks & Recreation Commission Committees: LE , JD , HS , CS X , Finance X Summary of Proposed Action: The resolution would authorize a contractual arrangement with Meridian Township that would provide a $10,000 contribution in 2008 to the Township’s effort, through the Lake Lansing Special Assessment District Advisory Committee, to address lake management and water quality issues. The resolution requires an annual review by the Parks & Recreation Commission through the budget request process rather than a multi-year commitment as was the case previously. The annual review stipulation was included to address concerns by the Parks & Recreation Commission that increased emphasis be placed on long term management of the watershed. It was felt that requiring a review of an annual budget request would ensure that goal would be given careful consideration. Financial Implications: $5,200.00 exists within the 2008 Parks Department Budget for this purpose. This resolution would appropriate the $4,800 balance of the $10,000 contribution. Meridian Township will be matching this contribution. Other Implications: None Staff Recommendation: MM X JN TL TM JC Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

MEMORANDUM

January 16, 2008 TO: County Services and Finance Committees FROM: Matthew J. Myers, Ph.D. Controller/Administrator RE: Reorganization of Central Services _______________________________________________________________________ Last year it became apparent there was a need to reorganize Central Services to move the Insurance Benefits Office from the Financial Services Department to the Human Resources Department. For a variety of reasons, it has not been possible to make the change until recently. Late in 2007, I began meeting with those persons who would be affected by the change, to seek input on the advantages and disadvantages of the reorganization. After having met with the affected Department Heads, I have concluded the reorganization will be in the best interest of Ingham County. As you are aware, the Human Resources Department is responsible for the coordination of benefits for County Employees. By bringing the Insurance Benefits Office to the Human Resources Department, our employees will receive “one stop shopping” when looking for answers related to their benefits. Issues related to employee orientation and labor relations will more easily be addressed by having the Insurance Benefits Office physically located with the Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department is more centrally located, which will also benefit most employees who physically visit the office. Space was an issue that needed to be addressed to accommodate the reorganization. Facilities and Purchasing have addressed this issue, through a redesign of the Human Resources Department. To complete the reorganization the following would occur:

1. Two employees physically moved from the Financial Services Department to the Human Resources Department - no cost.

2. Increase a current employee of the Human Resources Department from 3/4 time to full time - cost - $8,924 (2008); $16,168 annual topped-out cost.

3. Facilities and Purchasing to complete a remodel of the Human Resources Department - estimated cost - $12,300.

4. Upgrade the Human Resources Director from Level 12 to Level 13 - cost – $3,929 (2008); $7,078 annual topped-out cost.

5. Red line the Financial Services Director position. When vacant, the position will go from Level 14 to Level 13 - cost savings projection - $8,169 annually.

The initial cost for the reorganization is $25,153. This assumes a start date for the reorganization of May 1, 2008. The funds to pay for the remodel and for the increase for the Human Resources Director will be requested from contingency. The funds to pay for the increase for the 3/4 time position to full time will come from the Insurance Fund. The annual cost for the reorganization is approximately $15,000. This accounts for the savings from the downgrade of the Financial Services Director’s position, once it becomes vacant. The attached resolution authorizes the reorganization of Central Services. If there are questions, I will be available. MJM/njh
